Dear Customer,

The new JAWS-drivers that have been developed by BAUM have only very recently 
been digitally signed by Freedom Scientific. Last week these drivers have been 
released by BAUM.



These drivers are running with JAWS 10, 11 and 12 (the latter only available in 
English as public beta).



The operating systems supported are Windows XP, Windows VISTA and Windows 7 
(Windows 7 both 32 and 64 bit).



These drivers support all current BAUM USB and/or Bluetooth Braille displays 
such as SuperVario, SuperVario2, VarioConnect, VarioPro as well as BAUM 
organizers Pronto!, but also HumanWare Brailliants and BrailleConnects.



The older Braille displays BAUM DM 80 and BAUM VARIO (RBT) are not supported by 
these drivers as Freedom Scientific prohibits signed driver support for serial 
connections and only allows USB and Bluetooth interfaces.



These drivers can be downloaded from the following English BAUM website: 
http://www.baum.de/cms/en/support/



The download is a ZIP-archive. After unzipping an installation program will be 
found as well as documentation and installation instructions in both English 
and German.



These drivers are a newer version then the previously announced version amongst 
our beta-testers. A sporadic "Assertion error" has been solved and these 
drivers have been newly signed by Freedom Scientific. Also a problem with 
missing key mappings for the Braille displays has been solved.



We trust to have been of service to you with this information. Should you have 
any further questions about this topic, please feel free to contact your local 
dealer or if necessary BAUM directly.



Additional information: New COBRA 9.1 screen reader / screen magnifier from 
BAUM will be released in the next few weeks. Please ask us to keep you updated 
about COBRA 9.1 so we can send you a free demo by then, or ask for a brochure 
now!



With best regards,

Your BAUM-Team
